Friendly Fire is Darrell McBride, his sister Kelly McBride and their best friend Alison McBride, hard rocking Algonquins from Timiskaming Nation in Northern Abitibi-Quebec. 

Their story is one of a deep commitment to music, tireless work and overcoming the odds. They have been playing music together since 1995, in an assortment of bands, coming together as Friendly Fire in 2001. Veterans of over 500+ live engagements, Friendly Fire is garnering a lot of attention from Canadian, European and US music labels and generating a lot of word of mouth buzz.

They come from the land of poutine and rebellion and their music is mix of the Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, NOFX and the space gypsy rock of the Mars Volta. “Our sound is rooted in punk and grunge, with one thing in common from both –" HEART” says Darrell.

Friendly Fire has traveled countless dark snowy Canadian and American winter roads to play shows and garner success. They have begun to build solid fan bases in The North Eastern Cities of North America and have played in cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, New Jersey, Montreal, Washington D.C, Athens Ohio, Nashville Tennessee and New York, where they played Tompkins Square Park with The Legendary David Peel (of John Lennon and Yoko Ono fame) and “NYC ROCKS” a Talk show on AOL/Time Warner broadcasting. 

This hard work is paying off for Friendly Fire, they have received praise by A&R representatives from Sony, Emi Canada, Arbor Records, Capitol, Island and CODA Music Placement, to name a few. Friendly Fire has played with a very impressive list of bands such as Propagandhi, ZUKU, Straight Face, The Rebel Spell, GFK and Kill Cheerleader!

Jordon Zadorozny, of Blinker the Star and producer of Sam Roberts, Hole and Melisa Auf der Mar, has produced their first LP “The Savage Raids of Friendly Fire”
